The management of even small munic-

are chosen to administer the affairs; hence

OFF TO CANADA.
Escape Of McGarigle, the
Chicago Boodler.
he Slips Off in a Quiet Sort of
Way.
Damaging Freshets in New
England.
Mot arigle Escapes.

CHICAGO, July PA. w. McGarigle,
the convicted boodler, has escaped.
All day to-day all the available police
men and detectives in Chicago were trying
vainly to find him. He was formerly
chief of police of the city. kilograms
have been sent all over the country in the
hope Of heading him off. but notwith-
standing these efforts towards his recap
ture little hopes are entertained that he
will ever again be in the custody of the
people Of Cook county, the people at
whose expense he unlawtully throve and
fattened for years.
Last evening Sheriff Matson took Nc.
Garigle to his residence, and while there
the prisoner asked permission to take a
bath. He was permitted to enter the
bath room and close the door. In a few
moments the sheriff called for his prisoner,
but the bird had flown.
Although McGarigle was in the custody
OF the sheriff on the case for which he was
tried and convicted, he was still under
bonds of over $50. 900 on twenty other
indictments. His bondsmen are Boss
A. g. Mcdonald and a prominent mer-
chant. Mr.. L. j. Lehman.
This evening States Attorney Grinnell
declared unqualiiedly that the bondsmen
were yet liable, and in case McGarigle was
not re%captured the bonds would certainly
be forfeited.
CHICAGO, July 25.-The escape of
McGarigle gave fresh zest to the Doodle
trial to-day, and the jam of spectators
were afforded the spectacle OF two promi.
lei contractors testifying in detail how
the twelve defendants had month after
month robbed the county of thousands OF
dollars. In one instance one of them
furnished Sl2 900 worth OF material for
a road to the county insane asylum, and
to obtain the contractor expended over
81, 900 among the defendants. The
county eventually had to pay this sum-, as
the contractor added that amount to his
bill. Two station agents of the Mil
waukee & st. Paul railroad were paid
5000 each to certify falsely to the mount
of material delivered. A milk contractor
said his contracts cost him about 81, 500
each to obtain, but that in the end it all
came out of the county treasury. The
most blackened by to days testimony was
Warden Varnell, of the insane asylum.
To night an officer from Chicago in
pursuit of McGarigle reached Mackinaw
island and is in%augurating measures to
prevent the fugitive from getting through
the straits to Canada. 1t is understood
hat the sheriff is in communication with
the commander of the United States rev.
emu and Attorney Andrew johnson at
Milwaukee, and that the federal govern.
ment's only craft on the lake will be util,
lied in the chase.
To. morrow's Inter Ocean will state
hat McGarigle will not be safe IN Canada.
1t is limited that should he be once locat-
ed the lack of extradition will not prevent
his capture in secret by American officers
and hurried back to Chicago.
A Daily Ne,oS' Milwaukee special says
Capt. Baker, of the revenue cutter John
son, has declined to seize any team yacht
or tug McGarigle may have taken refuge
on, the latter not having been a federal
prisoner.

Rising Waters.

PORT JERvIs, N. Y, July ga
washout occurred on the Erie road, two
miles west OF Cochreton, last night, car
rying away the track Just as a train load
ed with cheese was passing. The engine
and several cars passed safely, but twenty
one cars of cheese went down the bank
and we're totally wrecked. Travel was
delayed about ten hours.
DOVER, N. H., July 25.-All the
rivers in this part of. the state are higher
now han ever known before in the sum-
mer. Freshets in Lamprey river, New
market, this morning carried away a large
part of the old dam of the Newmarket
cotton mills. and also the foundation of
No. | Picker mills. The engines and
derrick employed in constructing the new
dam were swept away.
Cocheco river is rising rapidly and the
depth of water rushing over the dam is
forty-two inches, the highest ever known
In summer.
GREAT DARLINGTON, Mass, July 25.-
The greatest damage by the storm was in
the valleys of Green and Black Grocery
rivers, the major portion of the flood
passing down the latter river, causing
greater destruction on the New York side.
Hillsdale was the first victim of the over
flow. Bridge after bridge was cast from
its foundations. Twenty three have been
destroyed and the total loss is estimated
at over $500, 900.
GREENFIELD, Mass, July 25.-A
freshet just swept away the iron railroad
bridge AT Irving, which will cause a still
further delay to traffic.
Never before in history has Millers'
experienced such damage by water as
was occasioned by SUNDAYS freshets
Between that town and Irving, a distance
of six miles, are twenty five washouts
and eleven landslides, by actual count.
During Sundays violent rain a torrent of
water came rushing down the mountain
west Of the Fitchburg depot, Outlying it
badly. In a short time the depot fiat was
buried under three feet of water. Just
east OF the passenger station is the
freight house. This the water totally
undermined, tearing a chasm sixty feet
wide and twelve feet deep through grav-
ely soil. Passing underneath the side
tracks 1t dropped freight and coal cars
into the chasm end on end
The torrent rushed down the steep in.
cline to the river, 200 feet, tearing a
gorge twenty feet deep and fifty wide, I'm
dermining coal sheds and shade trees in
its passage. South of Lake house is
another gully ten feet deep and fifteen
wide. Sections of the Fitchburg railroad
yard tracks are undermined in places
quite badly. Bridge street is gulleyed SO
as to be impossible.

Mortified farms is washed away, and the
highway bridges between Millers' Falls
and Irving are all gone, and travel by
team is impossible, on which account a
transfer OF passengers cannot be made.
Irving highway passing through the
woods near the river on the flats is six
feet under water, and the culvert over
the ravine at the mouth of Miller's river
is washed out twenty-five feet deep. All
travel between Miller's Falls and North
field is cut off.
Prominent railroad men said this after
noon that if the railroad puts on ~ts..entire
force of ~workingmen it will take two
weeks to get the roads any ways near
repaired. OF the twenty-five washouts
mentioned either one of them is large
enough TO engulf a train, and it is a
1t is a wonder that no fatalities have re-
suited. There is a general blockade of
traffic on both sides of Irving. At Weld
ing several highway bridges are down.
Most Of the damage on the
railroad and highways was caused
by the swelling of small noun
tain streams which rushed from hillsides
and made rushing torrents. Altogether
these are the worst washouts that Frank
lin county has experienced for many
years and singular enough they are all
within a radius of six miles.

DISTRICT COURT.
Business Transacted by the Judge and
LAWYERS Yesterday.

In the Waid divorce suit yesterday
Judge Maginnis disposed of the matter so
far as he was concerned by referring it TO
Attorney E. s. N. Morgan as special
master in chancery. 1t is not probable
that the case will ever be tried. 0. G.
Waid has bought a ranch and 5000 head
Of cattle in Arizona and expects to be es-
tablished there by August l. He has
contracted to deliver a consignment of
stock to the Carlisle Cattle ompany neal
Douglas this fall, but will probably con-
duct this transaction through an agent.
There is a possibility that the cattle will
be attached before Waid delivers them,
to satisfy the pecuniary claims issued
against him by the court.
The sentences given Germs and Ketch
um, the perjurers, have been suspended
and leave given their attorneys to file
bills of exception.
An attachment has been issued for
George Lacey, of Lusk, who was sum,
moned as a witness in the Mccoy case
and failed to appear.
The demurrer of the First National
bank, in answer to the demurrer made by
F. w. Lafrentz in the Swan case, was
sustained by the court.

Quick Railroad Work.

BUTTE, Mont, July 25.-A Spring
hill, Mont, special to the Miner says:
The great work of changing the guage Of
the Utah & Northern Montana branch OF
the Union Pacific to the standard from
Silver Bow to Pocatello, was made in FIVE
hours to-day. The distance was 24f
miles, divided into sections of six miles to
each gang. A purse of S25 for the quick
est time was won by Foreman Bowling, in
three hours and forty three minutes. This
beats the record. A special train was run
on the return trip from the south at the
rate of forty-three miles per hour after
the change was made. A heavy train Of
standard guage, laden with coal for Ana
conda, is already moving north.

A New Scheme.

PrrTsBURG, July 25.-The Chronical
Telegraph publishes a story this afternoon
to the effect that a gigantic scheme is
being planned to control the K. of l..
throughout the country. 1t is said to
have for its objects the control of the
order under the present administration
and is in the interest OF district assembly
No. 40 of New York, and Masterwork-
man Powderly and General Secretary
Litchman, according to a Knight of Labor
who is not committed to the scheme. 1t
is proposed to have delegates go to the
general assembly that will sustain the adj
ministration. This will be accomplished
by establishing classes consisting of nine
members in every city in the country.
These classes are to be made up of the
most influential knights available and
will really be branches of ''forty-niners''
assembly.

1.-THE coercion bilD has been issued over the
signatures of the earl of Granville aud
twenty-eight Liberal peers, including Ear
Roseberry, the marquis of Ripon, Ear
Kimberly and Earl Spencer. The protest
denounces the act as y source of lasting
irritation and of hatred and of miscon-
struction of the law, and declares that the
measure deprives Irishmen of their in
dividual rights, and creates and stimulates
the growth of secret societies.

 Z Rev. Dr. Reed and wife by their presenoe added very much to the sociability of the occasion.
 The guests were provided with an abund- ance of refreshments, which included ice cream, most acceptable delicacy on such g warm evening.
